Home is the place where we live with our family. Everyone builds a home as per their need and convenience. If we talk about old times, most of the people used to build soil houses. This keeps the mud house cool on hot days. But as times changed, people started building houses with cement and brick.
Nowadays people build big buildings for their homes. But have you heard about someone living in Cow Dung House these days? A professor has built Cow Dung House in Rogtak. Doctor Shiv Darshan Malik, living in Rohtak, Haryana, has built a house from cow dung.
There is a village named Madina in Rohtak, Haryana. Doctor Shiv Darshan Malik, who lives here, has built a house in which there is nothing like brick, sand, stone or cement. Even rebar is not used in this house.
Dr. Shiv Darshan Malik has built a unique house from cow dung. Shiv Darshan Malik has used the dung of his bull calf. He has used soil, lime and local vegetation along with cow dung.
Let us tell you that Shiv Darshan Malik is considered educated. He has done PhD in Chemistry. He has also worked as a professor. One day the lights went off and they were troubled by the heat. Then he decided that he would find a solution to this problem.
Then Shiv Darshan Malik manufactured Vedic plaster and Gocrete. Shiv Darshan says that when people heard that dung (cow dung) is used in building houses, questions started arising in their minds. He felt that this house could easily burn. It can also melt due to falling water.
Malik says that when Gokrit or Vedic plaster is used, it does not burn or melt despite the presence of cow dung. Doctor Shiv Darshan Malik claims that there is no risk of radiation from this Vedic plaster. Also, it keeps the temperature of the house 7 degrees less which is its biggest feature.
Let us tell you that Dr. Shiv Darshan Malik also gives training to people to build houses from cow dung. Till now 150 people have taken its training. People have built such houses in Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Jaipur, Ajmer, Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
Dr. Shiv Darshan Malik says that if a common man sitting in Delhi buys Gokrit or Vedic plaster from me, it costs money to send it. Diesel and petrol are spent in transportation. What are the benefits to the environment? So he trains people to make this thing.
